    I have a Boardman MX Comp Crosstrail (I won it in an auction). It’s got a 135×9 32 hole QR rear hub, which has developed a bit of a wobble. Before I take the wheel off to try and sort it, is it going to be cone and cup, or cartridge. The Boardman website doesn’t specify.

    Cheers for that. I took the wheel off and managed to nip the bearings up for the time being. Whilst I had the cassette off, I gave it a clean up. It’s showing a fair bit of sharks toothing across most of the sprockets, I’ll probably go with a Shimano 10 speed replacement, whilst I’m at it.

    I wasn’t clear in my description, it’s not wheel wobble, it’s wobbling wheel caused by excessive play side to side in the bearing. The rim is running true, as is the brake disk.

    Actually, I think I’ll just junk the wheel and hub, I wasn’t keen on the E4P wheel anyway. I’m going to see if the Mavic Crossone 29’er is better (it couldn’t be any worse).
